Name

Neolamarckia cadamba (Roxb.) Bosser, Bull. Mus. Natl. Hist. Nat., B, Adansonia Sér. 4, 6(3): 247 (1984 publ. 1985)

• Type: there are two interpretations:
  • Ridsdale (1978: 334): not indicated, probably a collection made near Calcutta (not traced).
  • Bosser (1985): Rheede, Hortus Malabaricus 3: t. 33 (1678–1703); Smith & Darwin (1988: 160) and Tropicos regards this as lectotypification.

Notes

To this species, names such as Anthocephalus indicus A.Rich., Mém. Fam. Rubiac.: 158 (1830) et Mém. Soc. Hist. Nat. Paris 5: 237 (1834) or A. chinensis (Lam.) A.Rich. ex Walp., Repert. Bot. Syst. 2: 491 (1843) had been applied historically, but Bosser (1985) considered these names belong to Breonia chinensis (Lam.) Capuron, a Madagascan species whose basionym is Cephalanthus chinensis Lam., Encycl. 1(2): 678 (1785).

Misapplied names

• Cephalanthus orientalis L., Sp. Pl. 1: 95 (1753), pro parte
  • Note: according to Rumphius (1743: 37), Trimen (1894: 292), Bakhuizen van den Brink (1970: 473) and Nicolson, Suresh & Manilal (1988: 338), the pre-Linnaean name 'Katou Tsjaca' mentioned by Rheede in Hortus Malabaricus 3: 29, t. 33 (1682) and cited by Linnaeus (1753) stands for this species and Bosser (1984) even treats t. 33 as type, but there still exist other candidates; see Ridsdale (1976: 184–185).
